Putting AI to Work for Advertisers for Audience Segmentation

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already begun to improve targeting, segmentation, media buying and planning in the advertising industry. AI algorithms can extract complex patterns from vast numbers of data points, and in so doing, are able to self-correct and learn patterns. The revenue potential that improved personalization, segmentation and targeting that AI provides to marketers is huge.

At HERE Technologies, we are placing AI and machine learning at the center of our products and services. We see the opportunity in automated machine learning to enrich the targeting and effectiveness of mobile advertising campaigns in real time. But the outcome of implementing such technology depends on the quality of data being fed into it from the outset. AI wouldn’t be as helpful if it’s being used alongside questionable location data or audience data.

HERE’s location data provides a strong thread that can be woven throughout every stage of the media buying process, offering more context and targeted segmentation for DSPs, along with better attribution for higher quality metrics -- which will ultimately help draw the link between ad targeting and closed transactions at the point of sale.
